There's no question Gravely Pro-Turn 100 series mowers are nice machines. I was sold on the intergrated 3400 drive systems w/dampening steer levers when I tried desperately to tear some demo turf. I couldn't do it. The wheels just don't spin when changing direction quick. Nice! It's a very turf friendly mower.

I want to know how to get the best possible cut from the X-Factor deck under different set-ups.

I'm going to start out with it side dishcharging. Should the deck pitch be level for best results? Which blades work the best here?

Mulch kit will be installed sooner or later depending on my needs. What's the best blade and deck pitch combo for this application?
